Toffees hot for flop Scott

The former Chelsea and Swansea wideman (left) has failed to break through at City after a £6million move from the Welsh club last summer.

He was signed as a replacement for Adam Johnson, who was sold to Sunderland for £10m.

Sinclair, 23, will be available this summer when Everton – who were interested in a loan deal in the January transfer window – will decide whether to make a firm bid. Another player on the way out at City – experienced defender Kolo Toure, 31 – is also attracting interest.

The former Arsenal centre-back will be a free agent at the end of the season and that has alerted Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia and French clubs Monaco and Montpellier.

As already revealed in the Daily Star Sunday, Monaco have an interest in another two City players – midfielder Samir Nasri and frontman Carlos Tevez.

City’s England defender Micah Richards, meanwhile, is set to make his comeback next month.

Richards, 24, has been out for four months after suffering a knee injury against Swansea.
